      Never use High, either, at least for most modern games. High comes with extreme sharpness that causes more eye strain and migraines. Medium graphics are always the objectively best settings for both appearance and performance, so you don't have to give up one in favor of the other, and you'll suffer less eye strain from it.
      Companies overdo their graphics today because uneducated gamers think "better graphics" exist the higher you go in settings, then they wonder why they suffer migraines and bad eyesight for most of their time playing games.

      @@nyxnightmare3542 I don't think i've ever come across a game with "extreme sharpness" at all, so seeing that even on "High" some games have that... i'm curious which games you're talking about in particular. One case where "Ultra" helped me was on the beta of MW2 (recent one) and in low/medium the game was all blurry and I tried my best to tinker the settings but just saying "fuck it" and putting it on "Ultra" completely cleared that up for me. But extreme sharpness? Maybe Borderlands 3 or Overwatch 2?

    I recommend fog on medium, it's super demanding on outdoors, you can confirm this on the very first mission where you get the Accio spell. High fog on this mission makes fps stay between 20 and 40. Medium fog raised fps between 60 and 80 immediately.

    At 4:20 , I personally think that Ultra is more visually accurate compared to High. Ultra has a roughness cutoff which makes it more demanding but also makes the SSR reflection defuse properly with the floor considering the material property of the floor is stone and not glass/mirror. On High, the floor is reflecting the torch and the stand like a mirror which shouldn't be the case.

      I have 64GB of RAM and I have a lot of stuttering. Most people say it's about GPU's VRAM and judging from what I see - it's probably that. Funny thing is GPU can actually utilize some of the normal RAM as if it was it's own, but it doesn't happen with Potter. My GPU can use up to 32GB of normal RAM as it's own, but when I have resources manager on I see it only utilizes 7 out of 8GB of VRAM and 0 GB of the Shared RAM. So it's clearly the optimisation of UE4 that fails here.

    After extensive testing on a 3070 and a 6800xt, I have found that using the ultra texture quality/material settings on an 8gb vram GPU tends to run you into vram limitations (even without raytracing). I experience far fewer massive frame drops and stuttering when playing on the 3070 at high texture settings when compared to ultra. There are even parts of the game where a 3060 outperforms a 3070 on ultra settings (without RT) due to having 4gb more of available vram. It's a shame, but I think we are starting to see the limitations of the 8gb cards. I know a few other YT channels have noticed the same thing too. Great video though. It really helped seeing the settings side by side.

    These are pretty much the settings I've been using, I like the effects on ultra, because spells are a big part of the game and I always loved the spell effects in the movies. The duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore is the best. The foliage, I like to have on medium just for the fact that the grass is less dense and it makes it easier to find items on the ground, I've been doing this for decades now, saves so much searching time. I will say, during the 72 hour early access for the deluxe edition, I could have most of the settings on Ultra with no stutters or massive frame drops and I'm using a ryzen 5 3600x, RX 5600XT and 16GB ram, then the release day patch dropped and now I get massive lag in Hogsmeade and some halls in Hogwarts.

    Been playing on the day one patch since yes today on the official release date, and up until we hit Hogwarts and the city area the game ran fine in 4k resolution, but after that the game tanked, and stuttered and I could find no way to get more then 45-50 fps, even running in 1080p, with no Ray Tracing on a ryzen 7 5800x, 16gb of ram and an rtx3070.
    Funny enough the intro part up until you get to run around in the Hogwarts school area took a little over 2 hrs to reach, which is just a little over the 2 hours the customer has to decide weather or not to refund the game, which honestly stinks of shady tactics in my opinion.

      Having an RTX 4090 to run this game at 4k with 75 FPS (with dlss 3) is pretty pathetic.
      This is the famous PCism, a cognitive disease that affects a good portion of humanity with a higher purchasing power.
      (It's nothing personal) but unfortunately, this type of conduct proliferates like the plague and ends up dictating the rules of the market, supply and demand, not to mention the precarious optimization of current launches with the excuse that it is underperforming, "Because the current hardware is becoming obsolete" And this is where PCista comes in, validating this narrative with its high purchasing power + its cognitive illness!
      Look how incredible!

      ​@@valdark9509 I don't quite understand how a poorly optimized game is worth dissing the strongest consumer card Nvidia has ever introduced to market. While I agree with your general mindset, there isn't a "need" to upgrade every generation.
      The 4090 is a monster of a card that chews up any of the latest AAA games with consistently high FPS with or without RTX enabled. I believe it brings a good value proposition to the table for anyone who does want to future proof. It literally dropped at the same price as last years 3090 but with 50% more cores/etc and DLSS 3.0 is still in its infancy.
      Personally I won't be upgrading till three generations from now and still believe the 4090 will be plenty then.
      With that being said I'm getting anywhere between 70-90FPS with my 4090 with Ultra settings, DLSS and RTX on a 1440p UW, but I also am running it with 5800X3D and there currently is a bug with Ryzen processor's being under utilized in this game causing loads of slow down and performance issues. Turning RTX off increases my frames 130-150FPS and still looks exactly the same to me so I think this is the way to go. Until they fix RTX to actually make it look like RTX.

    Excellent breakdown of optimized settings. I am using an RTX 4080 so I feel like a lot of your recommendations are not ideal for me, BUT the majority of gamers can't afford an RTX 4080 or 4090 so you are giving advice to the majority of gamers.
    I'd love to see your analysis with several different GPUs including the higher end ones like mine. Your advice regarding RT settings is definitely sound even for those like me with 4080s or better. I think the only GPU that can pull off all settings on ultra even RT is the 4090 paired with an equally nice CPU, and thats a small minority of gamers. I lose a massive amount of FPS with RT settings on so I have them off for now sadly.

    If your game is stuttering try lowering texture qualities other settings like this, as this game is very demanding on VRAM
    i noticed major stuttering on my 10gig 3080 when my vram usage got to above 9.2gig. lowering some settings to reduce vram usages REMOVED my stuttering
    Your 3060 card is an 8 gig i'm guessing? your vram says its using about 7.2 when it starts stuttering, try bring that down to 6-6.5gig and your stuttering should ease a lot, doing this small change to use less vram has helped remove the stuttering for myself and my friends who have all tried it. i'm guessing that the stuttering is caused by the system offloading the over full VRAM to system memory.

      Woops i ment to say "texture quality" my bad.
      The settings i changed with my friends are under "graphics options" and were "volumetric clouds, post process, distance, and population quality" and it did increase our average FPS and that's a given but as the settings were lower the game used less VRAM and the stuttering dissapeared. As there was now less VRAM being used by the game so during loading areas near cut scenes and opening doors and such that the VRAM would increase for a little bit but would always settle back down. If your running with your vram full in normal gameplay then whenever the game tries to load anything it had no VRAM room to spare and that seemed to cause the stuttering as it was trying to sort itself out. Lowing the settings to lower the amount of VRAM used, allowed it to have the headroom to load in new assets without the VRAM becoming full and causing the massive stutter they had been getting.
